"Klubrádió solely wants to provide news and present
different opinions and never meant to play any emblematic role. But, because of
the decision of the Media Authority, it has became the symbol of free speech in
Hungary," stated the broadcaster's CEO, András Arató, on Sunday when addressing
thousands of demonstrators who gathered in central Budapest to express their support
for the station. Once this popular talk radio broadcaster loses its frequency license (which was reallocated to a previously unknown
media group that tendered a higher price) in a matter of weeks, pro-government
dominance will be nearly complete in terms of broadcast news programs in the
country.
